Dan here, hello! In this video I take my Fender Ed O'Brien Sustainer Stratocaster to Johnny Kinkead to get set up. As we find out, a good setup makes all the difference to how the guitar feels in your hands… which makes all the difference to how much you end up playing it!
Johnny takes us through all the main aspects of a guitar setup as we fettle the EOB closer to where I want it to be. Enjoy…
For anyone not familiar with the guitar, here's the link to Fender's webpage, https://shop.fender.com/en-GB/electric-guitars/stratocaster/fender-eob-sustainer-stratocaster/0140192305.html
